Lathe suggestions?

Those Digital Scales don't have a fraction of the service life of a proper DRO and linear encoder, I have a DRO from Machine DRO on my Myford Super7 that's given around 20 years of always on service so far.

You could be right so I’ll report back any issues. So far so good though. I don’t run coolant on the lathe so maybe that helps.
I have a machineDRO branded scale on my drill press quill and that is also working well after many years.
